Bottom Line
The Elite Hotel Adlon is an upper-mid-range hotel housed in an attractive 19th-century property in the center of Stockholm. Set on one of Stockholm's main streets, the hotel is within easy walking distance of city center attractions, as well as a short stroll to train connections. While much of the property has been brought up to date, some parts of the hotel are still in need of a refresh. The breakfast, however, is excellent and the restaurant is one of the area's most popular. While rates are in-line with the surrounding competition, you might feel short-changed if you get a pre-refurbished room -- especially if it's one of the small ones.

Friendly and functional chain hotel housed in a 19th-century neoclassical building
The Hotel Adlon occupies a handsome neoclassical building dating back to 1884. While the interiors were very dated when it taken over by the Elite hotel chain in 2013, most common spaces have received a makeover to give it a more arty and hip feel that fits well with the Stockholm vibe. The reception area is unfussy and bright, with a mixture of contemporary and vintage-looking furnishings, plenty of blonde wood paneling, and a large framed Jack Nicholson photo overlooking the scene. The ambience is friendly, though functional, while attracting an even mix of business guests and vacationers. Some areas have not been updated as recently as others, though, and it shows.
Location
Overlooking central Stockholm's Vasagatan street, close to the station
The hotel is located on one of the main streets in central Stockholm -- Vasagatan, in the district of Norrmalm. While within walking distance of most of the city center, Norrmalm also features Sweden's largest shopping area, complete with an underground mall, while the city's charming old town -- on the island of Stadsholmen -- is a five-minute cab journey away. The city's central train station is also just a couple minutes' walk away; this is where you can find tunnelbana (Stockholm's Metro rail) and the Arlanda express train, which connects to the Arlanda International Airport in about 20 minutes.
Rooms
Renovated rooms are clean and modern, but others haven't been updated.
Renovated rooms feature small marble bathrooms and simple, attractive furniture with pops of color. Others feel dated and are tired in places. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and minibars, though no tea/coffee facilities. The renovated bathrooms are modern and clean with marble tops and hairdryers. While most rooms are well sound-proofed, some lower level rooms are prone to some street noise. Room size is also pretty small, with some feeling tiny.
Features
Good buffet breakfast, but it can get crowded
A decent and generous buffet breakfast -- with a range of meats, smoked salmon, eggs, cereal, and yogurt -- is served in the hotel bar. It can get a little crowded in the morning but breakfast is included in the rate. The Kott & Fiskbaren (The Meat and Fish Bar) restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and also has a nice deli section. Both the restaurant and deli are very popular with locals. A small fitness room has a couple exercise machines and parking is available for a fee. Wi-Fi is available free of charge throughout.
